Jared still wears his long sleeved bib and has just turned 19 months. It's this one that my mum bought from babies-r-us and it still fits him fine.

My son has just turned 2 and still is a messy eater, and his clothes get ruined if he doesn't wear anything
to protect them, in hennes they sell bibs/painting aprons for up to 5/6 years. (they are not in a heavy plastic material, justv wipe them clean with a cloth, my son loves his one. They are fab, the boys they have spiderman, and girls cinderella.

Jack wears, when I can get him to, a plastic messy play/long sleeved painting bib , I got it from Tescos for about £1.50 Have also thought about getting him a wipe clean apron

Seren will sometimes wear a long sleeved bib - we got a pack from IKEA really cheap lol
On the times when she refuses to wear a bib we just strip her to her vest ... seems to work - she wont get that messy and if she does vests are pretty cheap to replace as opposed to clothes We also tend to save the really messy meals before bathtime !

If its a messy staining tea then i put her long sleeve bib on Ellie is 2 and a half i got one from sainsburys.... otherwise i just put a t towel round her neck and tuck it into her clothes

I use a hard plastic bib that I got from superdrug with a crumb catcher on the bottom for messy foods. It is easily washable, will even go in the dishwasher. For toast and things I use the tchibo bibs - they have them on special offer in the stores and somerfield at the moment. 3.99 for 7 towelling bibs.
